GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) OVERVIEW 

Introduction

Video conferencing is a fast-growing industry, which makes it a prime target for data breaches. In May 2018, there was a major incident where the privacy of thousands of people was invaded. GDPR comes into play here because video conferencing companies are required to protect the privacy of the participants in their conferences.

GDPR is a set of regulations that protect the privacy of citizens in the EU. It was created to protect European Union (EU) residents from privacy and data breaches when using online services by requiring companies to disclose what information they collect, why it’s being collected, how long it will be stored, and who will have access to it. Under GDPR,

  1. 1. As a starting point, any person or company seeking to process the personal data of another individual must:

1.1 Disclose any data collection and use;

1.2 Declare the lawful basis and purpose for data processing; and

1.3 State how long data is being retained and whether it is being shared with any third parties or outside of the EEA. 

  1. GDPR defines “processing” as follows: “any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. “(Article 4, Definitions)

The GDPR is a significant piece of legislation that has been in the works for several years. In this guide, we will discuss key legislation points and how to ensure compliance with your application built with Racchabanda.

Racchabanda Meetings offer end-to-end encryption. Users may enable this feature. The meeting’s private keys cannot be accessed by anyone else, not even Racchabanda.

 

  1. WHO APPLY GDPR:

In addition to organizations operating within the EU, any organizations operating outside the EU offering goods or services to residents of the EU are subject to GDPR. There are two different types of data-handlers the legislation applies to: ‘processors’ and ‘controllers’. The definitions of each are laid out in Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation.

3.1. Controller is a “Legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data”,

3.2. Personal data and data subject: A data subject is a natural person who can be identified, directly or indirectly, and who has been identified or identifiable.

3.3. Processor is a “person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller”.

3.4. Controllers are also forced to ensure that all contracts with processors comply with GDPR.
